Taking 3 grams of glycine before bed doesn't seem to change the overall structure of sleep stages in people who have trouble sleeping
Scientific Claim
Glycine ingestion (3 g) before bedtime is associated with unchanged sleep architecture in individuals with chronic sleep dissatisfaction, as measured by polysomnography
Source Excerpt
“Glycine improved subjective sleep quality and sleep efficacy (sleep time/in-bed time), and shortened PSG latency both to sleep onset and to slow wave sleep without changes in the sleep architecture.”
